the warcraft 3 world editor is much more easier to use and awesome cinematic making, but i dont like the cartoony graphics and lack of siege weapons, and the off proportioning of the buildings. (units are same size as houses...)

but the age of empires 2 scenario editor, the trigger abilities are limited, not many cinematic features, and units are hard to manage (such as getting them to move some where you want to move them to, or simply standing still) but gives me the graphics i want, siege weapons and walls, and good proportions (looking like a swordsman could actually fit inside a building)
